Castle
Ambition, defense, achievement
Mask
Persona, deception, hidden self
Castle
Castles represent grand ambitions, defense mechanisms, and the fortified self. A magnificent castle may symbolize aspirations for greatness, while a castle under siege reflects feeling attacked or defensive. Exploring a castle suggests discovering the many rooms of your psyche. A castle on a hill represents elevated goals and the effort required to reach them. A crumbling castle suggests that defenses are no longer serving you.
Mask
Masks represent the personas we wear, deception (others' or our own), and the hidden self behind public appearances. Wearing a mask suggests concealing your true self. Removing a mask represents authenticity and vulnerability. A mask falling off unexpectedly indicates fear of being exposed. Others wearing masks may reflect distrust or the recognition that people aren't showing their true faces.
